For the better part of the last three years, this blog has averaged 15-20 posts per month and provided almost 450 original BBQ joint reviews. This is quite a pace for a hobby that costs more than it earns, but it has been one of the most rewarding learning opportunities of my life. It's not quite to the level of learning how to keep tiny helpless humans alive from birth, but somewhere above perfecting that new macro in Excel at my day job. The inevitable moment has arrived where I must scale back a bit to focus on a big BBQ project that lies ahead. I'm going to attempt to produce a large number of written pages that others may find an interest in reading. This doesn't mean that new BBQ reviews won't be coming into your life, they'll just be a little less frequent. I expect to be able to keep putting out two per week given my current backlog and my insatiable appetite for barbecue discovery.
I hope y'all will be patient with me while I work my way through this process, and maybe this book may even be good enough for you to want to read. Wish me luck on my new adventures around this great state.

ReplyDeleteDaniel, I have enjoyed your blog very much and will be the first in line to buy it if you publish a book. Thank you so much for sharing your hobby/obsession with us.
ReplyDeletehobbies aren't *supposed* to cost more than they earn, that's what makes 'em hobbies, if they earned more than they cost, they'd be a *business*... *grins* not to say, of course, that all businesses make more than they cost, but, you get the drift.
ReplyDeletegood luck with the book!
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do! Good luck on the project and I'll still be checking in here!
ReplyDeleteMichael - You're right. I should have said "a hobby that has turned into a job"
ReplyDeleteYour a great writer mr V. Your passion for texas bbq will stand out on every page. TEXAS BABY!!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck! I'll probably still check your blog first thing every morning. It has become second nature!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve to cut back. I've often wondered how you can eat so much BBQ so often! I will definitely buy a copy of whatever you write and will give them as gifts.
